EDGE OF WINTER is a low key thriller set in the wilds of the Canadian north. It's a small scale movie, a three-hander for much of the running time, in which a couple of surprisingly ordinary and non-annoying brothers are sent off to stay with their crazy estranged father, played by Joel Kinnaman of EASY MONEY fame. When they confess a new development to him, the news sends him off the deep end and he becomes possessive to extreme levels. It's an intriguing slice of psycho-thriller with a greater emphasis on realism than usual; the performances are generally good, both from the kids (including future Spider-man Tom Holland) and from Kinnaman too. As a thriller, it's not particularly suspenseful, and it does suffer from becoming increasingly predictable as it goes on. Still, it's worth a look if you're a fan of the cast.
